Ending animal tests

Cruelty Free International is the leading organisation working to end animal experiments worldwide.
We investigate and expose the reality of life for animals in laboratories, challenge decision-makers to make a positive difference for animals, and champion better science and cruelty free living.
Our vision is to create a world where nobody wants or believes we need to experiment on animals.

Alternatives to animal testing

Replacing animal tests does not mean putting human patients at risk. It also does not mean halting medical progress. Instead, replacing animal testing will improve the quality as well as the humaneness of our science.

It doesn’t take a genius to know that using animals for cruel and unnecessary cosmetics tests is unjustifiable.

Did you know that 80% of the world still allows animal testing for cosmetics? Countless animals suffer and die worldwide in routine animal tests for cosmetics and cleaning products.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Hundreds of cosmetics and cleaning brands are certified cruelty free under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme.
It’s the only globally recognised guarantee that a brand has made a genuine commitment to ending animal testing for their products.

Making the world cruelty free

Animals in laboratories suffer regardless of national boundaries, so our experts lobby and work with governments and politicians across the world. Always talking rationally and constructively, we set out the benefits of moving away from cruel and old-fashioned animal experiments. We challenge decision-makers to embrace progressive policy. And we champion humane science to benefit both people and animals.
Our work is changing international policy and helping animals in laboratories worldwide.
